How can I be the best maid of honor EVER? My best friend is getting married. She has a matron of honor, me as her maid of honor, and her two sisters as bridesmaids. She lives way across town (about 45 minutes away from me) and the wedding will be her her hometown (about 1-2 hours away from both of us), where all of those other people live. I really love her and want to make it as special as I can for her, because this is pretty much the only marriage I've ever believed would work at all.
dearcandore answered Thursday March 18 2010, 1:29 pm: Planning a wedding is very stressful! Which is kind of crazy considering that it is supposed to be the happiest event of your life. But that's just how it is. So if you want to be the BEST maid of honor ever, besides fulfilling your regular duties (throwing a shower, picking out dresses, etc.) be sure to check in with your friend periodically. Call her or email her every so often and ask her if there is anything she needs you to do. You'd be amazed at how helpful it can be to just have someone that can pick up your invitations or price photographers. She will no doubt appreciate any help you offer. Like, if she asked you to help her pick out a photographer, you could ease her burden by researching 5 or 6 different places and then maybe putting together a little booklet or printout with sample of their work, prices, location, pros and cons, etc. Then you can give that to her and she can choose who she wants to follow up with. Just remember that during this stressful but exciting time, its all the little things that will add up to you being the best maid of honor ever ; ) Good luck! And have fun!
